Dit kun je verwachten

Streetfood, levendige optochten, vuurwerk en muziekkorpsen – de feestdag van heilige Dionysios is het grootste evenement van het jaar op Zakynthos. En je ziet het allemaal vanaf de beste plek op deze avondtocht. Je bekijkt de processie van priesters in hun mooiste gewaden en mengt je daarna onder de lokale bevolking in de festiviteiten. Maria, een van onze lokale gidsen, zegt: "De viering van onze patroonheilige Dionysios is de belangrijkste afspraak in de agenda van elke Zakynthiaan. Een van mijn favoriete onderdelen is om de stad in al zijn feestelijke pracht en praal te zien, terwijl we door de bazaar slenteren.”

Op 24 augustus komt heel Zakynthos op de been om buiten feest te vieren ter ere van de beschermheilige van het eiland. Je gaat er in de late namiddag naartoe om deel te nemen aan de feestelijkheden. Eerst zie je de processie voorbij komen, om je dan onder de lokale bevolking te mengen bij de eetkraampjes en de bazaar. Maria zegt: "Er worden tal van lokale specialiteiten aangeboden, waaronder traditionele zoete lekkernijen, geroosterde kastanjes en mijn favoriet – loukoumades – een typisch Griekse donut gedrenkt in honing.”

Je snuift de bruisende sfeer op en maakt nog snel wat laatste foto's terwijl het vuurwerk de hemel verlicht, voordat de bus je terugbrengt naar je hotel.

    Reisde met de familie


    I undertook this trip with a young family. There was a walk from the coach into town where the festival took place. There was no pavement and heading kids along a road with traffic and other pedestrians on was not ideal. When we reached the centre the crowds were much larger than expected so we could see very little. We were told to use loos at restaurants., which had no water and the public loos were vile. We returned to the coach, but we had a great time waiting in a bar enjoying fireworks.

    The actual festival was great but the trip advertised and provided by TUI was very disappointing. Advertised as a Tour and with 2 TUI tour guides I expected just that! We were picked up and driven to Zakinthos and dropped off. The TUI tour guide read detail of the festival from her notes, she couldn't pronounce half of the details but told us about 10 times we would be picked up at 11pm. There was NO tour and they were not tour guides! Local bus cost €2 each, this cost €20 each. Not worth it.

    Pick up both ways was on time. Guide give good background on festival on bus en route. Walk route to festival was clear and easy to follow on return. Festival itself was interesting and fireworks were fantastic. Market was a bit patchy mostly fake goods and animals in cages which did not appear to be in healthy condition. Only problem was reps lost passenger list for return journey which caused a short delay checking numbers. Luckily driver had a printed copy which was used as a register

    Tour guide took us to the church then disappeared,no mention of where to find them in case of difficulties. Everywhere we went was o lying open for food not just drinks,found a little bar where we could get a drink and all the tui staff were there. On return to the coach the map and QR code was wrong location.

    The festival it’s self was absolutely amazing and the fire work display was out of this world but TUIs side of this was less than satisfactory the reps raced off left us with no information other than a piece of paper and a bus a number they didn’t show us where to find the the TUI reps and information on what was going on and where things was non-existent very overwhelming over all, not what I expected/was sold

Greek food and live music evening at Popolaros Taverna

Good food and good fun are on the menu at Popolaros Greek Taverna. Get in the holiday mood with this classic Greek evening – you'll try lots of typical local dishes, carefully prepared by Giorgios and his team. As the sun sets over the island, the candles are lit and the actors take to the stage. The sound of the bouzouki fills the air, and you find yourself tapping your feet to the rhythm. Dmitri, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Why not try dancing the zeibekiko traditional Greek dance? You follow the rhythm as the tempo gets faster and faster.'The evening begins with a transfer to the inviting taverna, where you can indulge in the traditional cuisine of Zante, prepared where possible with produce fresh from the family's own farm. Homemade bread is made from their own wheat, and most of the meat is reared on the farm, too. Organic vegetables are grown by the family for salads and sides, and you'll even get unlimited wine to sip on.Dmitri says, ‘My memories of family gatherings, holidays and special occasions all involve my mother, aunts and grannies baking. Frigania in summer, raisin and walnut-stuffed buns at Christmas and, all year-round, wood-fired oven-baked bread.' Popolaros is a traditional taverna where every dish is a celebration of the rich culture and traditions of Greece. As you finish your meal, sit back and enjoy a performance of local theatre with infectious Zakynthian music.
